The fight to be crowned thebest Android phoneon the market is always tough. A wide array of established brands and new start-ups go toe-to-toe, in a bid to offer the best possible spec sheet for users.
This next year looks set to be no different. Devices like theOnePlus 13and theSamsung Galaxy S25 Ultraare already sounding impressive, based on early leaks and rumours.
But they could pale in comparison to the follow up to theXiaomi 14 Ultra. The device – which we anticipate being called theXiaomi15 Ultra – is said to pack in an incredible 200MP periscope telephoto lens.
That would be a seriously impressive bit of kit. The current generationSamsung Galaxy S24 Ultrapacks in both a 200MP main sensor and a periscope telephoto, but not in the same sensor.
According to thereport, that will be a 100mm equivalent focal length, which works out about 4.3x magnification. That’s said to use an f2.6 aperture, too, which is pretty bright in the grand scheme of things.
That should push the boat out for an already impressive camera setup. Xiaomi have been building their camera systems in conjunction withLeicafor years, making for some of the most impressive photography on any phone.
Fusing that know-how with some boundary-pushing technology should make for an absolutely fantastic setup. I’ve been using Xiaomi devices for years now, having always been impressed with the image quality.

Even theXiaomi 13was cool, but the Xiaomi 14 Ultra was a step up again. Short of recreating theXiaomi 12S Ultra Concept– my fingers are still crossed on that front – this might be the next best thing.
There’s no official word onwhenthis device will launch, though rumours suggest it could be around as early as January 2025. For now, then, we’ll just have to keep our eyes peeled for further details.
